Injectable Treatments

Botox
Botox injections are a diluted form of botulism which is injected into facial muscles to paralyse or weaken the muscles that form wrinkles. Botulinum toxins were first researched in the late 1960s to treat neurological disorders. Botox was first approved in 1989 to treat eye muscle disorders (blepharospasm, uncontrollable blinking, and strabismus, crossed eyes).

In 2000, it was approved to treat a disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder contractions. As an unusual side effect of the eye disorder treatment, doctors observed that Botox softened the frown lines between the eyebrows.
Wrinkles that are caused by muscle contraction, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases can be safely and successfully treated with Botox. You will be asked to contract the facial muscles (frowning, squinting) that affect the area to be treated. This will help to determine the best location for the injection. The injection is normally injected directly into the muscle with a tiny needle.
Results are normally seen within a few days. The results generally last between 3-5 months.

BOTOX® is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that is inadequately managed with topical agents. BOTOX® helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. The procedure is relatively straightforward. A small volume of BOTOX® solution is injected into the affected underarm area through a very fine needle. The needle is placed just under the skin, so you may experience some injection-related discomfort. You will receive multiple injections based on your doctor's assessment of the area that needs to be treated.
You should notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating within 4 weeks of your first treatment. There is a possibility that some sweat glands may be missed, and you may continue to experience some sweating from the untreated areas therefore a further treatment might be required. The doctor will assess this at your check-up

Fillers
This is a crystal clear gel form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid holds water, hydrating and giving volume to the skin. As we get older the production of our natural hyaluronic acid diminishes. A simple injection replenishes the lost volume and improves your looks by enhancing your facial profile, creating fuller lips, and smoothing out lines and wrinkles.

It adds volume to your skin without affecting your natural expression. It is non-permanent and is absorbed naturally over time - it’s your choice when to have further treatment to maintain the effect. The effect will typically last 6-12 months. The length of time it lasts is specific to each individual and the area treated. Whether you are looking for defined facial contours, fuller lips or softened facial lines, bring out the best in yourself - instantly and naturally.
